About Us
Hi, we are Carl & Patricia Senser, and as fate would have it, we met 32
years ago. Little did we know that our mutual love for animals would
develop into our breeding program today.
The first breed of dogs we ever bred was Collies and it was such a
delight.
We had some coaching from an established breeder and everything went
fine.
We then turned our attention to purebred cats, receiving National and
Regional awards for our Siamese. Cats led back to dogs and we worked
with several breeds before deciding that the Miniature Schnauzer was
about the best breed of dog we had ever worked with. Such a great breed
for families, great with small children, small, adorable with their
beards and best of all non-shedding.
We got our first Mini Schnauzer 15 years ago and she stole our heart
and they are our main breed at this point.
Although we do not show our dogs, we breed for the standard and
produce excellent pets with great personalities. Ribbons would be nice
but not at the expense of the dogs health. It upsets us to see dogs on web sites
that have numerous titles but died at an early age.
We do not in breed, which is the practice of breeding closely related dogs
together. We prefer to line breed distant relatives and do some
outcross breeding as well.
Inbreeding (example: mother to son, father to daughter) is where you get your best show dogs and also you biggest
problems if there are health issues in the lines.
Ribbons are nice to show but we would rather breed for sturdy,
healthy, and loving personalities. Most people are looking for pet
companions and that is what we try to provide for them.
We encourage people to come and meet our dogs, visit our facility and
decide for yourself. Our dogs sell themselves and we are proud of them
Call to make an appointment today.
Sincerely, Carl & Patricia Senser |
